A man that was seen in a 55-second video threatening to kidnap girls and women across Mandeville, Manchester is in police custody.
Head of the Manchester Police, Superintendent Shane McCalla confirmed this a short while ago.
McCalla told The Gleaner that investigations are ongoing, while the police await reports from the mental health facility at the Mandeville Regional Hospital.
A Gleaner source had earlier disclosed that the man suffers from a mental illness.
In the video posted to social media site TikTok, the man stated that he was on a mission for the devil.
"I am promising all of you, all of you that lives in Manchester that on Monday when school returns, I will be taking all girl kids. I will be driving around, and I will be taking your child. I will be taking all women and all girls, because we need them for an experiment. The devil needs them for an experiment," he said.
